Rolling Boxing Thread / Anticipating Manny vs. Mayweather

mitchell likely to finish it next round

swapped gs back for ms mac tbh, i'm a sucker for her risotto.

hmmn should have put cash on that xp

hey aerosmith, funny that you rage about how bad a fight is one week then totally praise a pre-mendozesque scrap a week after that as if that was meant to be boxing :p

if you say so champ

People who watch boxing boxing disagree with jim in glasgow

haha, was trolling a bit there. was a great fight to watch.

lol cheers

actual lol, I was in full "WHAT HOW DARE YOU SIR" mode here

to be real though dudes needed to work on their defense!

it's true but guys who can take a punch (i.e. guys who will be staggering around seeing everything double when they're 48) don't need it - it's refreshing to see guys answer the bell and go straight to the middle of the ring

Brian "the Hawaiian Punch" Viloria took the WBO title last night, once against demonstrating the fearsome power of a kick-ass nickname

However, the fight was in Honolulu and the scoring looks really, really fishy

So... Chisora v Fury is getting underway shortly on Channel 5. Anyone watching?

It seems really weird having Mark Pougatch and his massive glasses presenting something on telly.

Celebrities the cameras have zoomed in on ringside: Stacey Solomon, Shane Richie, Max Clifford.

Chisora appears to have amended his entry music to make it a bit more racist towards Irish dudes. Hmm. Yeah, this is gonna be fucking strange.

David Essex also seems to be ringside, I think this means all of the Moons off EastEnders are there. For I do not know what reason, the ring introductions are being read in both English and French.

Oh look, there's Spoony.

"Let's have a listen to the Fury corner" - cut to ad break.

OK, that second round was rather good. Fury winning at range, til Chisora properly rattled him with a left hook, then caught him with a monster right later on. One round apiece, very intriguing now.

Fury very much getting on top now though, Chisora looked to be freezing up badly in that last minute.

They've both just spent 30 seconds of round 8 stood in a corner taking the piss out of each other. Fury definitely winning but also clearly tiring... though Chisora is probably still worse. Though he hits harder. This is a good fight but quite an odd one.

Chisora spent at least two solid minutes covering up on the ropes that last round, then went berserk for 40 seconds of left hooks and overhand rights, then covering up again.

Yeah, Fury's got that decision, no question. Good fight, though, but neither of them should believe they're anywhere near ready for either Klitschko.

Fury was and still is underrated. He's not beating the Klitschkos but the guy can fight.

And from a fan's perspective, it's wonderful to see a big guy who loves to throw uppercuts and body shots. He "likes it hot in the kitchen" as the old saying goes.

otm

khan/judah

watching this then cuntos?

thought this was a mismatch until they showed Zab's physique in the dressing room and I remembered he's been working with Victor Conte.

vuvuzelas in the house.

zab my favourite knock-out ever. amir khan my least favourite brit boxer ever.

GOD STOP THAT NOISE THIS IS AWFUL

Zab getting caught with a lot of right hands, he may just have a puncher's chance here.

zab is a mug. if this glass jawed cheeky english wank can make a fool of him then he deserves everything he gets.

khan p impressive so far

Khan is awesome. Glass chin, but in every other respect he's a fantastic fighter imo.

shame on the HBO announcers for saying Zab is Khan's bets opponent.

literally turned it on just in time to see the ko

ouch

also illegal?

not really a low blow considering how high Judah's trunks are

n.b. i despise khan.

yeah even more than david haye so

not even sure if he has a glass jaw either, it's not a strength but he took a lot in the maidana fight

I don't think that's an actual low blow either - if you hike up your shorts to mid-belly, don't complain about low blows on the belt

yeah hardly a cockpunch.
innit yeah
hopefully he will get a fight with someone who isn't a bum, then we can see if he's any good?

haha, judah gets hit on his abs and grabs his balls

MAIDANA xp

not even sure if he has a glass jaw either, it's not a strength but he took a lot in the maidana fight

ehhhh he was also seriously hurt at the end.

Also in general he takes too many punches because he fights poorly going backwards. But when he's on offense he's spectacular.

LOL JUDAH
